BismoFunyuns24 Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 I'm looking at a display Thompson that has a philadelphia ordnance display receiver on it and I'm curious on if the trigger frame is authentic or not. I'm hoping to get opinions on it. The pictures I have are all I have to go off of currently, I know it's not much. My main concern is that the finish looks brand new. If anyone can give me an idea on how to tell if a frame is authentic or not I'd greatly appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I unfortunately won't know that until the weekend since the seller is out of town so I really only have the frames finish to go off of. I've seen the comparisons of a fake scotty57 receiver and an authentic one but I just wanted to hear others opinions on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgeport28A1 Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 (edited) To my knowledge a Reconbob produced Philadelphia Ordnance 80% display receiver would not have Worcester Massachusetts engraved on the right side. Are you sure it is not a Kahr Arms receiver. edit: I believe it is a Kahr Arms dummy. https://shopkahrfirearmsgroup.com/thompson-display-models/thompson-thompson-display-models-m1dm.asp#:~:text=This Thompson Replica gun is,are machined from solid steel Edited May 1 by Bridgeport28A1 Kahr link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the listing in question https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1048668367 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outsider Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 There are no machine marks in the lower like the originals had. Looks like someone went after that one with a DA sander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
